Since Oracle bought Sun i've jumped with both feets in the Linux bandwagon... i still love the Sparc architecture and Solaris but it's market is dying ... so is HP-UX (in my humble opinion). I've also drank the cloud koolaid with CI, CM, Agile and what not. I believe the pure sysadmin job is transitionning into the devops creature.
I've just switched jobs at 43 and add 40 compagnies contact me within in a month. Yes i'm in Europe but US is a more dynamic market. It should be the same if not easier.
